bill clinton compared barack obama's win in the south carolina primary to jesse jackson's wins there in the 1980s. he said barack obama's narrative on his opposition to the use of force in iraq was a fairy tale in his words. but they have warmed. bill clinton's speech at the democratic national convention in 2012, one of his best speeches and i would say the best argument for why barack obama deserved to be re-elected, better than barack obama ever made, so politics has a long and often strange arc in the relationship between these two men is sort of illustrative of that fact. >> nothing if not transactional. thank you very much, chris. we'll see you later. >>> with the world leaders who were gathered at the u.n. this week, advocates for education are here pushing for real change. the global business coalition for education is an organization promoting education for children across the globe, particularly the developing world. sarah brown is the chair of the coalition and co-founder of a world at school and joins me now. sarah, great to see you again. >> great to see you. >> you've g
